Alrighty, finished
. Like I said before, it was a hard book for me to read. But I liked it. A lot! Better than Acheron, in my opinion. And a wonderful romance. Kenyon's best.
After a short break (to recover from Styxx) I'll start my next BDB book

Well that's good you liked it more than Acheron. So it's not an Acheron Version 2.0?
I loved Lover Revealed.
I loved Lover Revealed.
Yeah. It is Acheron 2.0. In a major way. But better. In my opinion.
Lover Revealed is a lot better than I thought it would be. I like Butch but wasn't a big fan.

Done with Lover Revealed. Now for
. V is my favorite brother so I've been looking forward to this one. And dreading it... I've been warned.

I'll be curious to see if you stay intrigued with the series. Some seem to think the series jumps the shark with book 7 (Lover Enshrined).

Finished Lover Unbound and loved it! I was worried because I knew about the controversy but I really liked it. I'm continuing. Phury is my least favorite brother - sometimes I just want someone to smack some sense into him. Especially in this last book!

I'm glad you liked LUn. I love Phury, but you're not alone in him being your least favorite. Poor Phury can't get enough love. :)

You're always reading really interesting books, Ashleigh! Very cool!

I'm reading Unlawful Contact and I'm loving both Marc and Sophie. Marc is such a sweetie. Want to give him a hug!


i try to change it up a bit so i never get bored :D
I finished Unlawful Contact, and it was excellent! I heart Marc big time! Sophie ain't shabby either.
Finished
. Read Father Mine: Zsadist and Bella's Story. And now I'm reading
. Rehv was the character I was most looking forward to reading. And I'm loving it. My favorite of the series so far.


I liked the book. But for me Ward dropped the ball in the romance. Which is a shame because there were parts I really liked. And I loved the end.
Yeah, I definitely think we needed more Phury and Cormia interactions. Still love them as a couple though!

not sure what to read next....

Hi Shelly. Opinions are mixed about the BDB books. You should probably browse the reviews and see what varying folks think about it. The first book isn't the best, so if you like it enough to continue, that's great. Don't give up though if you don't love Dark Lover.

I'm really enjoying the BDB books. I wasn't too impressed with the first one. I have read a ton of paranormal romance vampire books and it seemed like nothing new. And the names were silly. The second one was great. Another Rhage fan. Most fans love the third one best. I didn't. It was my least favorite. But the fourth and fifth were great. In my opinion.
The series starts off as a paranormal romance with urban fantasy elements, then turns into an urban fantasy series with paranormal romance elements. There's still romance. But it isn't the whole book. And the previous books lead into each other. There's no way a reader could skip around like in other series.
Its turning into one of my favorite series. Though, Kenyon's Dark Hunters are still my #1. These are a close second.

I'm reading
. It's an okay read. But I think I'm missing my vampires. Why doesn't anyone write a book about a vampire pirate... ? Can't be the only one who thinks that sounds like a good idea. Lol.

I know the feeling, Traci. My two favorite sub-genres are historical and paranormal. I can't stay away from either too long.

I think a vampire pirate is a great idea!

So do you think the Dark Hunter series is better? Maybe I should do that one instead.



Oh found a romance: Ravenous by Abigail Barnette. I might have to dip a toe in the vampire pirate pool.

I do like the Dark Hunters better. But its more my taste than any other reason. I grew up reading Anne Rice and love gothic books. And most of Kenyon's books center around New Orleans. Also I'm a huge Greek mythology fan. And this plays a big part in her series as well.
I'll have to check those vampire pirate books out. Kenyon has a pirate Dark Hunter I'd love for her to write a book for. Lol.

You always encourage me with your reading, Ashleigh. I was supposed to start Mistborn this month for a group read. Still haven't yet. I will!

Warning - there is some heavy stuff in here, esp in the bad man/bad woman-victim story. It's pretty serious sadomasochism/power, not at all ritualized, the author plays it out in real time.

I suspect I would have loved it a lot more if I'd read any of the other books in the series! But I do like the way she writes her action scenes.

Yeah, it relies very heavily on especially the prior book.

I just tried that one too this week and gave it up. I didn't care for either main characters.
